Hey everyone, I just took REG and awaiting my score release on that. I feel like I did pretty poorly on the SIMS and almost feel like there’s no way I could have passed. I start work in October and I’m unsure if I should start studying for AUD, FAR or even just start studying for REG again. I’m just really confused and scared of working full time and studying because these exams have been giving me so much difficulty..if anyone has some insight that would be awesome.

Start studying for a different exam. I just took FAR. Completely guessed on 6 of 8 sims and would have bet money I failed. Remarkably I passed. You never know my dude.

Agreed, I would not waste your time continuing to study for REG. I just recently passed REG with an 86 and I was very confident I failed. You just never know. If it were me, I would move on to AUD to give myself a bit of a break. AUD is still difficult, but it is a lot less material than REG so it shouldn't take as long to study for.

FAR - PASSED 11/14
AUD - TBD
BEC - TBD
REG - First take 2/16

I usually take a week after the exam to drink heavily. Then just hope for the best and start on the next one.

FAR is a good one to get out of the way.

move on to the next section and go back to reg if you failed and after the next section. i recommend aud next

save bec for last

took AUD today.
I would recommend to take FAR first over AUD
Can’t disclose the detailed test experience, but some simulation questions are not even possible to answer if you don’t know HOW TO ADJ according to GAAP.
If you don’t know financial reporting, many chances that you’ll not be able to solve some sims even though you know the audit procedures
